@wortspielfettgesicht Ich bin zu schwach, darauf zu antworten. Aber vielleicht kann ich dir diese LLM-generierte Karamelle anbieten?

@light @taylan Did you never say anything radical to protest an injustice done to you?

They're not trying to change you, they lash out against people that don't accept their existence.

Just look at this: you had a civil discussion with someone and lived to tell about it.

What would your estimate be about the result of an encounter with someone who is hostile to trans people? With someone who they are frightened of?

If you don't know, ask them. Stand by their side for a moment.

If that is too much to ask, you legitimized quite a lot. Everything i would do to protect you, to be exact.

@molosovsky Die guten Gründe sind unser Kontostand. Das muss doch wohl ok sein.

@Alice Are you sure? Maybe it's the nazi secret shoppers that are the problem.

@light @taylan The problem i see is that it feels dismissive.

Those people did nothing to you, and issuing a dismissive sign would be an attack against them, not the general problem of lack of communication.

I'm pretty sure you do not want to attack them personally, so i advised against it.

@taylan Someone's feeling very USA today!

@renardboy To anyone who feels used and abused during work: correct.

@interfluidity Absurd, noone answered because they have no idea what "trente glorieuses" means. How detestable.

Wanna explain?

@light @taylan You're right, but the point i am trying to make is: it could all work better if we really try.
I see loads of distraction, but no real effort to actually make things work.

Gender or sex were never an actual problem. Patriarchy, sure, but not the dingdong we have between our legs. It's all just a bullshit excuse to not expend any effort. You can do better, i can. We only need to convince everyone that those that don't want to try that being an asshole is not helpful.

"only"

Haha, i'll see myself out.

@light @taylan I'd advise against adding "or whatever" here. People feel in very different ways, and they want recognition. Not too uncommon a goal?
The problem is not people wanting to be recognized, the problem is if people want to harm others.

I would appreciate if we could focus on if what someone does is harmful or not.

@taylan @light You will find me mostly asking "how is this supposed to distract me from how i am actually attacked?".

And this seems to be the common, not very inventive default: by sowing diversity between people that have no squabble whatsoever.

Not interested, i'd rather stop nazis than get involved in this.

So i am not sure what is up with jk rowling, but it does not matter. I have priorities, and those are not some sports person.

My priorities are human rights.

@light @taylan Yeah, maybe questionable parts, but nothing horrible in this. What i'd need was some of the people that insist she is bad and see if their claims are bullshit or if there is something else.

@OpenComputeDesign@linuxrocks.online Would any of the people throwing such blanket statements around be able to sum up the relevant points of your life?
If not, i would wager what they say is about them, not about you. Perhaps they showed some shitty behaviour they got away with until... these best times for them ended? ;-)

Maybe this can be combined with what we talked about, about pride in good, ethical behaviour?

@vriska I might look awake, but don't expect too much :-P

@Binder I'm overwhelmed. Which of the many options currently available do you mean? Microsoft infestation, LLM infestation, software in household items...

@renardboy In the short term, it can be a relevant distinction, though. I'd say if you are faced with the question you asked initially, it is clear you need to seek change, but the makeshift solution until you can get change depends on circumstance (need to secure money supply or prioritize learning, if at all possible).

@Alice Suggestion: If you both refer to it as "the foil entity", you can scare unsuspecting guests. Don't forget to roll eyes when saying it.

@renardboy Depends entirely on the context.
If i am with people i trust, i can look ignorant, no problem.
If i was free from consequences, being ignorant would be ok.

The first is something where i think of work. In a good work environment i could afford looking ignorant by asking questions. A hostile work environment would breed actual ignorance by pushing everyone to pretend and not ask (should already be looking for another job).

@VeroniqueB99 So you are saying one can get a lot out of it?

@VeroniqueB99 It's amazing they have time for that additionally to bumping into me and following no matter how much i sidestep.
